Date: Fri, 26 Aug 2016 13:31:43 +0200 From: "[CXSEC]" <submit@...ec.org> To: fulldisclosure@...lists.org Subject: [FD] Apple libc incomplete fix of Security Update for OS X El Capitan 10.11.2 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Apple libc incomplete fix of Security Update for OS X El Capitan 10.11.2 Credit: Maksymilian Arciemowicz from CXSECURITY.COM URL: https://cxsecurity.com/issue/WLB-2016080232 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Apple tried to fix security issue in file system (FTS) libc implementation but doesn't patch it completely. Let's back to the security advisory https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT205637 ---------------------------------------- libc Available for: OS X El Capitan v10.11 and v10.11.1 Impact: Processing a maliciously crafted package may lead to arbitrary code execution Description: Multiple buffer overflows existed in the C standard library. These issues were addressed through improved bounds checking. CVE-ID CVE-2015-7038 CVE-2015-7039 : Maksymilian Arciemowicz (CXSECURITY.COM) ---------------------------------------- it's only one part of reported weaknesses what should be fix by Apple. They fixed multiple buffer overflow but not all out of memory read. Improper security implementation of file system may lead to a few kinds of attacks -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. AV Tools and file system deep directory The first weakness what Apple should repair is ability of hiding malicious code in external/internal media drive or DMG package. Many AV tools will skip files located in directory deeper then 1024 levels, so it could be used to hide malware by attacker during classic AV scanning. I contacted with one of vendors and they indicate Apple as responsible for repair this bug. To show this issue in practice, you can compare the two DMG files. One is with content of exploits from metasploit in directory located in 1024 level of directory tree DMG mounted and threats detected by AVG, ESET, Norton AV during folder scanning mode https://cxsecurity.com/exploits/mac10116expl/10116metaExploits.dmg The same content but in deep file hierarchy 1024 directories. Classic directory scanning by AV tool couldn't detect the threats. https://cxsecurity.com/exploits/mac10116expl/10116hideContents.dmg -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2. Out of memory reading in libc The next issue recognised in the latest MacOSX is out-of-bounds read. Apple tried fix all buffer overflows but it looks like that's not all. In Apple code there is still a few weak points of memory management. For example 'ls' and 'find' command and Apple's libc. To easier explain this weakness (CWE-125) let's use this special crafted DMG with deep file system. $ wget https://cxsecurity.com/exploits/mac10116expl/10116outofread.dmg ... $ hdiutil attach 10116outofread.dmg ... $ valgrind ls -laR /Volumes/PoC1_CXSECURITY >>/dev/null ... ==5687== Invalid read of size 1 ==5687== at 0x1000116BF: strlen (in /usr/local/Cellar/valgrind/3.11.0/lib/valgrind/vgpreload_memcheck-amd64-darwin.so) ==5687== by 0x100323A4B: __vfprintf (in /usr/lib/system/libsystem_c.dylib) ==5687== by 0x10034C6C0: __v2printf (in /usr/lib/system/libsystem_c.dylib) ==5687== by 0x100322381: vfprintf_l (in /usr/lib/system/libsystem_c.dylib) ==5687== by 0x10032021B: printf (in /usr/lib/system/libsystem_c.dylib) ==5687== by 0x100001C4E: ???
